Birdsville Track repair works expected to take some more months (before the whole way can reopen).

The Cooper Creek barge service will be back up and running from tomorrow, as the Birdsville Track reopens between Marree and Mungeranie.

The barge has not been operating for public use since February, when surrounding parts of the track were closed due to rain damage. ⛈️

The Department for Infrastructure and Transport said the service had been running throughout the closure for essential livestock movements and freight. 🐂

Bookings are now open, and residents, workers and emergency services will not be charged to use the service.

There is still a long way to go for the Birdsville Track, with a department spokesperson saying repair works between Marree and Cooper Creek are "expected to take at least a few more months".

If your researchers have finished the job in Canada, they could ask Tourism Australia if they can come down under and do likewise here?

Every town and roadhouse in the outback relies on overseas travellers for staff. Thinking of the backpackers we've met on Outbike events working in Oodnadatta, Mt Dare, Marree, Birdsville, Bedourie, Boulia and the Burke & Wills Roadhouse.

ABC on the closure and reopening prospects. Every chance the G2G will be good to get through next June.

The outback road has been closed for the majority of the past two years, leaving some outback businesses with no choice but to pause operations.
